    Summary

    In the roaring 1920s, Edwin Payne, a shy and bookish young scholar, escapes the stifling confines of his aristocratic English life to pursue the greatest mystery of the ancient world: the lost city of Al-Kharath. Accompanied by his best friend Niko and the roguish adventurer Charles Rowland—an ex-soldier with a penchant for trouble—Edwin journeys deep into the Egyptian desert.

    But danger lurks in more than just the shadows of the ruined city. As tensions rise and the sands begin to shift, Edwin must face not only the ancient forces awakened by their quest but also his own tangled emotions. In Charles, Edwin discovers an unlikely ally who challenges his self-doubt and ignites something far deeper than friendship.
